So I guess, okay, refresh then. What were we trying to explain? You were trying to do your own personal calculation of why

we don't have conservation of energy in the portal

universe. And so it's not okay. So you were saying it's not because time is not symmetrical because in the portal universe time, I guess is symmetrical, you're saying, but it's because of this other thing. And okay, so here's, I think here's where I'm getting a little hung up is it sounds like the thing we are trying to explain is why do we gain energy when we take a different path? And then the answer is it's because we gain energy when we take a different path. Is that unfair of me to think like it? That kind of feels like what we're doing. What am I

missing? Why don't we have conservation of energy when we go through a portal? And I think the way I see it coming out is what's actually changing is that we have, by introducing portals, we have broken the concept of an energy potential and that you can only have an energy potential if the change in energy is independent of path. That's basically the definition of a potential is giving you the difference of energy between two points without caring about the path and by introducing portals, but still having gravity go directly down between portals. We've broken the concept that allows us to define a potential of potential energy at all. Yeah.

Okay.
